Gibran conveys VP resignation letter to MPR leaders

Gibran Rakabuming Raka has tendered his resignation as vice president as he meets the leaders of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) at the Parliament Complex in Jakarta on Thursday.

He arrived at the Parliament Complex at 11:15 a.m. Jakarta time, wearing a black suit with a red tie. Gibran refused to make any remarks to reporters waiting for his arrival at the Parliament Complex.

He promptly walked away and entered the MPR Speaker’s meeting room for a closed-door meeting with the MPR Speaker and his deputies.

He spent around 20 minutes at the Parliament Complex meeting with the MPR leadership, leaving the meeting room at 11:37 a.m. local time. He again declined to speak to journalists as he departed.

Gibran was seen leaving the Parliament Complex in a vehicle bearing a private registration plate rather than the “RI-2” plate designated for the vice president.

Earlier, Chair of Commission III of the House of Representatives (DPR) Habiburokhman confirmed that Gibran Rakabuming Raka will convey his resignation from the vice presidency to the MPR on Thursday at 11 a.m.

The remarks were conveyed by Habiburokhman at a commission hearing on the progress of the presidential wiretapping scandal probe with Police Chief General Suyudi Ario Seto at the Parliament Complex in Jakarta.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Gibran's resignation was confirmed by Budi Arie Setiadi, a former minister and the chairperson of Projo, a pro-Joko Widodo organisation. "That is correct," Setiadi said to respond to questions about Gibran's resignation in Jakarta on Wednesday.
